{LOVE}

This past weekend I was lucky enough to go up to L.A. and visit one of my oldest and dearest friends, Sara.   We haven't seen each other in 3 years.... How silly is that?!?  She only lives 100 miles away.    I was so excited to go up and see Sara, and just as excited to finally meet Bailey.   She just turned TWO last week and is definitely her mother's daughter....so beautiful, sweet, and just down right special.    It was a perfect girls weekend... we laughed, we played, we ate amazing food, had great drinks, and we took photos :)    I just love these girls.

.....and those EYES?   Forget about it.

Teagan turns {ONE}

I have known Ashley since I was a little girl.  She grew up down the street from me and has always been a beautiful person inside and out.  She is hilarious, fun, spunky, and can tell a fantastic story.    I think she is pretty top notch.   She met an equally amazing man and had a baby... fast forward a year and Teagan is turning ONE!!   Time flies when you don't sleep for a year, right??    Teagan is a mover and a shaker.  This little one would not sit still (not that I aim for that..but she did some acrobats on this shoot!).    It was a beautiful afternoon for this sunset field shoot...  and this family definitely knows how to have a good time (she even brought wine)... and we needed it!     Enjoy Elsdon's.   Love you guys!

 Happy Birthday Teagan

Ayda's Eyes

When I first laid eyes on beautiful Ayda (pronounced I-da), I could not stop saying.... OH MY GOSH she is gorgeous, look at those eyes, WOW WOW WOW... I think I said it non stop during our shoot.   This little 9 month old is obviously stunning, has the sweetest family, and was such a joy.   I hope to continue capturing Ayda and those eyes as she grows.
